The Boscawen Park Tennis League: Singles round one

The Boscawen Park League: Singles Round 1 

Monday June 7th to Sunday August 1st, 2010
 

 

Thank you all for being our Truro pioneers and taking part in the very first Boscawen Park Tennis League! We are very grateful to all of you for having got the ball rolling on this inaugural round and for getting into the spirit of friendly, competitive play.

 

Local Tennis Leagues is a project set up specifically to bring competitive tennis to park courts. The Boscawen Park Tennis League is one of around 30 leagues up and running around the country, and we very much hope that our most westerly league will grow to be a regular and enjoyable fixture on the Truro calendar.


 

But without further ado... The winner of the first round, who receives a £20 cheque and winners certificate is .. . Robin Proctor.
 
It was a 100% record for Robin with four wins in four matches, plus bonus points His toughest matches was against Matt Bennet which went to the full three sets. “What a game!” said Matt. “Both players gave their all and in the end it came down the smallest margin with Robin finding the extra to win.”  Redwynn came second, with six points, and Elaine Paulette, who played the first match of this round back in June, came third and fourth respectively. Four players got their bonus points and free balls and Matt may well have finished much higher in the rankings if had been able to get his, and play more matches. We were a little unlucky this round in that Lloyd had to pull out with a suspected cartilage tear in his knee, and the round coincided with a very busy time at work for Tim.  But well played all!
